Join us for for the 14th annual Minnesota Irish Music Weekend! Presented by the Center for Irish Music, Minnesota Irish Music Weekend is a unique festival that pairs world-class traditional Irish musicians and teachers with learners of all ages for a weekend of workshops, lectures, sessions and concerts.
Each of our visiting artists is recognized for their musical mastery, and will offer insights and techniques to help learners tap into the deep roots of traditional Irish music.
The 2022 event will be held in person at our home at the Celtic Junction Arts Center, with opportunities for virtual participation. We plan on offering a limited virtual workshop program for adults. The Saturday Night Master Artists Concert will be broadcast live.
Gather at 7pm to enjoy live music from the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend visiting artists. At 7:45pm, there will be a brief program including an introduction of the 2022 MIM visiting artists, the Fitz Scholarship recipients, and an unveiling of the Center for Irish Music's big plans to expand our space at the Celtic Junction. A session will follow the program. Bring your instruments!
The Great Session Experience brings together the Twin Cities Irish music community with multiple sessions happening simultaneously at the Celtic Junction Arts Center. Our goal is to fill every corner of the Celtic Junction with Irish traditional music. Bring your instrument, your musical pals and family members, and join in a session or start one of your own! You may even want to simply relax and enjoy listening to the music over a drink with a friend. Non-musicians are most welcome.
Presented by the Center for Irish Music, the Master Artists Concert is the signature event of the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend. Don't miss this rare chance to see Kathleen Conneely (whistle), Seán Clohessy (fiddle), and John Coyne (bouzouki/song) play from their recently released album “All Jokes Aside”. “Their music is simply top shelf and if you’re a traditional music lover it’s one you’ll absolutely have to have to hear for yourself.” says the Irish Echo. In addition, visiting artists Ivan Goff (Danú) on uilleann pipes and flute, award-winning singer and fiddle player Eimear Arkins (Clare), accordion and banjo player Natasha Sheehy (Limerick), and multi-instrumentalist Sky Kelsey (Alaska) will perform together on one stage at the Celtic Junction Arts Center’s Outdoor Stage!
